Mid-Winter Light

A yellow bird                                                                                                      
flutters
inside a shrinking cage
and darkness
hugs us
this mid-winter night.


I don't mean to sound dark or despairing, and I wish you all a
Happy New Year

Setting Off

I journey
with the sun
and rest
in the moon.

My voyage begins
without fanfare;
no one
to see me off or
wish me well,
no one to blow kisses
or wish me,
“Godspeed!”
No one knows
of my plans.

I journey
with the sun
and rest
in the moon.
